The interior surface of the same portion is decorated with internal prisms or flutings, and. as these are nearly vertical they do not accumulate dust to a great extent. The umjority of the light-rays pass through, this part of tho shadorcllector, hutzu'c soi'tcncrl and (lilluscil by the timings. That part of the device from 2 to 3 externally covcrcd with rem ilcctiug-prisms arranged Vcrticully or rz-uliall This surface will gather (lust, but will still he cllioicnt as a reflector, the lightrcys' being; reflected by the prisn'is, as in 4. This inside of the reflector from i? to 3-is smooth, and hence not liable to (lust col .lcctionl In Fig. 7 that part of charlc-rcllactor from 4 to 5 is externally smooth. and m or diiiuse the light, while the outside from to 6 covered with rei'lccting prisms arranged spirally, the inside being smooth. The reflecting-prisms are not (uite as ellicient; but the general principles involved are the same in both cases. That part of the device used as a shade is the pa rt which receives the least intense rays from an incandescent lamp and would therefore be least eificicnt as a reflector. Theshade part serves to illuminate the outside of the reflector and the space surrounding; but the rays which through the shade portion of the device are not guided by external prisms, while the rays do not pass to any considerable extent through the reflector portion, but reflected by the external prisms.

Fig. 5 illustrates the same principle somewhat modified. That part of the shade-reflector from 7 to 8 is externally. smooth. and passes light-rays from within. of this shade part of the device is decorated with spiral flutings 9 and beads 10; but these are merely exemplary, as any other variety of decorative forms ma be employed and colors may be used ju iciously The decorative forms employed of course divert or change the direction oi. some of the light-rays, so that certain. fields of illun1ination receive more and others less light-rays than if these d eeorative forms were omitted.

The part of the device from 8 to 12is internally smooth and externally covered with 5 circumferential reflecting-prisms 18, which The interior while less etficient than radial prisms can be made tolerably eflicient as reflectors.

The shade-reflectors of the present invention are formed from glass by pressure in molds. The work of decoration may be in part supplementary to the molding.

What I claim is- 1. A shade-reflector composed of'a single piece of glass having a contracted neck which is internally provided with light-diverting bodies and is outwardly smooth, and

'a flared mouth portion having external reflecting-prisms arranged with their axes extending in a generally radial direction, the interior of this reflecting portion of the device being smooth, whereby the deterioration of the different arts of the device by the accumulation o' dust is largely prevented.

2. A bell-mouthed reflector divided into two zones, the upper zone, through which the light passes out, having lightdispersing bodies on the inside and a smooth outer surface from which dust can be readily removed; the lower zone from which the light is reflected back and out of the mouth. having light-reflecting bodies on the outside and being smooth inside.
